Chapter 52: Archery
If Yu Weihua can't tell whether he is over eighteen from his appearance alone, then Zheng Haotian, who is only twelve years old, can't hide it anyway.
The scribe's brow furrowed, although they had the examiner behind them, but the age difference was a little too big. If he doesn't pay attention to it, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
He coughed lightly and was about to scold, but his eyes suddenly froze, and what he wanted to say was stiffened.
Because he saw the thick mace on Zheng Haotian's back, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
If this weapon is real, then this young man does not need to undergo any further assessment at least in terms of strength. The power of a person who can carry this thing around as if nothing else is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Vaguely, he understood why the examiner had allowed a few of them to participate in the exam.
"Name, age, where do you come from?" After a deep sigh, the literati finally gave up his intention to scold, and asked in a slow voice.
"Zheng Haotian, 12 years old, from Dalin Village. ”
The slightly young voice sounded loudly here, and everyone who heard this sentence looked at it with strange faces.
Although it is rare for someone to take the hunter test at the age of fifteen or sixteen and finally pass the test, there are many examples throughout the ages. However, it is a little incomprehensible for a twelve-year-old boy to come to the hunter test.
The literati's lips twitched a few times, and finally said, "What are you going to apply for?"
"Archery, trapping, strength, weapon combat. ”
Before the three of them came here, they had already decided on the program they wanted to apply for. In this case, they naturally choose the best project.
For Zheng Haotian today, if he participates in the last four combat events, it is definitely a sure thing, but Yu Jiansheng only asked him to participate in two of them. As for empty-handed fighting, it is the easiest item to see a person's true cultivation, so Yu Jiansheng will never allow Zheng Haotian to participate.
The scribe handed over the voucher in his hand to Zheng Haotian, and he finally couldn't help it, and said, "Young man, I have been here for more than ten years, and you are the youngest person I have ever registered, good luck." ”
Zheng Haotian smiled slightly, nodded heavily, and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”
The three teenagers turned to leave, and the figure of them walking together was particularly eye-catching.
In the barracks, there are countless huge signs, on which various game patterns are vividly and vividly drawn, and clearly marked with arrows. Just follow the direction indicated by the arrows and you will be able to reach each venue.
Yu Weihua said with a big grin: "Haotian, you and Lin Ting should go to participate in the first two first." He frowned and said, "I'll go to the weapon battle first, and I'll meet you later." ”
Zheng Haotian smiled dumbly and said, "It's okay." ”
In all the competitions, empty-handed combat and weapon combat are required to be carried out in pairs, if the two of them are jointly assessed, there will be a possibility of fighting in the end, Yu Weihua naturally refuses to suffer this dumb loss.
Most of the barracks have been appropriated today, and the entire site is divided into eight large blocks. Of course, there are large and small areas in between, and the archery range is not the largest, but it is not the smallest either.
When Zheng Haotian and Lin Ting came here, there were already several people waiting in line.
The rules of the shooting range are very simple, use a bow and arrow to shoot a copper coin hanging under a willow branch a hundred paces away, ten arrows per person, all of them must be shot within a hundred breaths, and those who hit more than five arrows are qualified.
This requirement is quite demanding, and if you can have this kind of archery, even if you are in the army, you can also be called an archer.
Therefore, among the eight major events, the number of people who signed up for archery has always been the smallest.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
Because the number of archery students is the smallest, the examiner is also assigned slowly, so everyone can carry out it one by one.
Zheng Haotian and Lin Ting were staring at the back of the team, and the person who was shooting arrows was a young man in his early twenties, and he had already shot seven arrows at this time. At this time, there was obviously a fine bead of sweat on his forehead. This shows what kind of thought and strength this person had spent on his previous seven arrows.
After all, this is not a practice of Ping Yue, but a major matter related to vital interests, and on such occasions, only a very small number of people can fully bring out the level of Ping Yue.
The young man shot two more arrows, only one of which hit the target, and when he wanted to shoot the last arrow, he heard the examiner say aloud: "The hour has passed, and four out of nine arrows are not qualified." ”
With a stroke of his pen, the sergeant made a big cross in the archery.
Looking at the inky black fork, the young man's face was full of chagrin. He picked up the voucher and left with a dejected expression.
Lin Ting shook his head slightly, and said, "This person may not be able to pass this time." ”
Zheng Haotian thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Those who can come here to participate in the assessment have a certain degree of confidence in themselves. But unless it's someone like them who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and who has cultivated their true qi and can greatly increase their physique. Even if an ordinary person exercises hard, without the assistance of True Qi, the possibility of passing is not very large.
If the soul is lost and the performance is abnormal, then it can almost be concluded that the ten ** will return in vain and go home.
Ten arrows per person, one person for one hundred, and soon, it was already the turn of the two of them.
After seeing Lin Ting's voucher, the examiners and sergeants were all stunned, and one of them smiled and said, "I want to participate at the age of fifteen, which path did you take?"
Lin Ting hugged his fists as a salute and said, "Master Jun, I was able to participate in it because of General Xu's grace." ”
The sergeants exchanged a look with each other, and the leader said, "You can participate, but we will not show favoritism, whether you can pass the test depends on your own performance." ”
After saying this, he winked at Lin Ting twice, lowered his voice and said, "Shoot slowly, you can have plenty of time, but you must shoot five arrows." ”
Lin Ting was stunned, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Master Jun." ”
Only then did he know that there was also a trick in this assessment. It's just that no one dares to go overboard, it's just a bit of a sideshow.
Before coming to the horizontal line, Lin Ting took out the folding bow from his body, flipped it lightly, and immediately straightened it.
After seeing the folding bow in his hand, there was a whisper below. The sergeants were even more glad in their hearts, although this kid was dressed plainly, he had a valuable folding bow in his hand, and he must have been of good origin. Fortunately, he and the others didn't make it difficult, otherwise I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat and leave.
However, they didn't know that the folding bow in Lin Ting's hand didn't cost a penny at all, and it was completely from Zheng Haotian's hand.
Lin Ting took a deep breath, and his state of mind had completely calmed down in an instant.
For these true hunters who had fought a life-and-death battle with the giant wolf in the mountains, the scene here could not shake him any longer.
"Start ......"
With a sergeant's loud shout, Lin Ting immediately opened his bow and arrows.
"Whoosh...... Ding......"
An arrow shot out, like a meteor catching the moon, slashed across the space in front of him, and suddenly hit the copper coin that was moving with the wind a hundred paces away, making a crisp collision sound.
In this process, Lin Ting did not hesitate at all from the moment he pulled the bowstring to the moment the long arrow flew out, as if he had never aimed at all. Such accuracy and strong self-confidence are truly intimidating.
"Good ......"
Dozens of cheers rang out in unison, not only the soldiers applauded loudly, but even the people watching from behind also shouted from the bottom of their hearts.
In fact, Zheng Haotian and the three of them are quite eye-catching, after all, those who can be allowed to participate in the competition at the age of less than eighteen must have gone the way, otherwise they would not even be qualified to participate.
Not many people will like this kind of privileged person.
Most people are waiting to see the excitement, and if there is an unfair assessment, it will make some waves. But when Lin Ting shot an arrow, everyone knew that this person was not as he thought, but had real talent and learning.
Lin Ting didn't hear what was happening behind him, and he shot all ten arrows without hurrying. It took less than half the time.
He is like the most stable machine, drawing arrows, winding them, drawing their bows, and letting go......
After ten arrows, there were ten clanging sounds, and it turned out that the arrows were not missing.
"Good, good archery. The sergeant at the head stood up, and he said in a loud voice: "Lin Ting, are you willing to join the army?" If you want, the rest of the items will not need to be assessed, and our Longbow team will directly grant you the qualification of a hunter. ”
For this sentence, there are envy and jealousy among the people, but no one doubts and blames it.
According to the regulations, if someone has unparalleled talents and advantages in a certain aspect, he can join the army through such special means and obtain the qualification of a hunter.
It's just that if you want to reach this level, that's the real difficulty.
Everyone present didn't have Lin Ting's archery skills at their own expense, so naturally they didn't dare to make a loud noise.
Lin Ting was slightly stunned, his face was slightly red, and he said, "Thank you for your kindness, but my family won't let me." ”
The sergeant shook his head and sighed, but there was nothing he could do.
Writing down the results of ten arrows and ten rings on the voucher and signing his name, he waved Lin Ting to retreat.
Zheng Haotian took a few steps forward and handed over the voucher in his hand. The sergeant was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The twelve-year-old baby also wants to come out and compete with us for jobs." ”
There was a burst of laughter from below.
Zheng Haotian frowned slightly, and his eyes naturally revealed a trace of fierce anger.
After all, he is the one who has killed the two white-eyed wolf kings with his bare hands, and his courage and momentum are far more than comparable to others.
The sergeant's heart sank, and he didn't dare to laugh at it anymore, and said, "Go ahead." ”
Zheng Haotian nodded slightly, came to the horizontal line, and also turned out the folding bow in his hand.
ps: Before I knew it, it was already 150,000 words, sweat ......
150,000 recommendation votes, this slogan is good!
